The Joy of Baths
In the latest of a series of on-going plumbing problems, our shower has broken, so we’re having to take baths instead. Bathing rather than showering is annoying because it takes so much longer and wastes a lot of water, but it is really quite excellent when you’re very tired from your first day back at work after six weeks of sick leave, and even better when I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue is on the radio at the same time.
We have a shower (i.e. splash-proof) radio, but it’s difficult to hear when the water’s running. So it’s a real pleasure to lie back in lovely warm water, while it’s chucking it down with rain outside and blowing a gale outside, and relish the surreal experience of the words of Uptown Top Ranking to the tune of ‘When You Wish Upon A Star’.

the rendition of Madonnas Hanky panky did it for me
My young daughter had no idea why I was laughing so much.

May I be so bold as to suggest an enhancement to your bathing experience: taking a well-loved (e.g. doesn't need to be kept in pristine shape) paperback into the tub with you and reading it until the pages wrinkle.

Jonathan Briggs: It was, the 'ting' was touchingly and delicately rendered, I felt.
Julian Barker: Rob Brydon's got a surprisingly good voice.
Debbie Ridpath Ohi: That would be nice. Add a glass of wine, and it would be even better. But it would have to be on a night other than Monday, or I wouldn't be able to concentrate on I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue.
Jonathan Briggs: I think you'll find that that was an illegal manoeuvre, if you're playing by the Spatski Rules.
